Episode 15
Five minutes before opening, Oliver went to the juice stand in his area and stood there.
His job was to sell freshly squeezed orange juice at the juice stand in front of the main entrance.
Customers who were tired from waiting in line for a long time usually wandered around with a glass of juice in their hands as soon as they entered, looking for rides worth riding.
Although he doubted whether juice would be sold today, he got ready and looked around.
As expected, not a single ant was seen in front of the main gate, where normally there would be a long line of customers waiting to enter.
That wasn’t the only heterogeneous landscape.
Even at first glance, I could see people with different moods standing here and there with their faces painted.
‘I guess those are the hunters Luke was talking about.’
It seems that the hunters did not come to the amusement park for vacation.
So who are the real customers? It was clear that whoever mobilized this number of people was a great person.
“hey.”
Sam, who was walking towards the entrance ticket gate, pretended to know something.
He then made a gesture of shrugging his shoulders while gesturing in all directions.
He also thought this situation was strange.
By the way, since there is no way that VIP will buy an entrance ticket and come in, the staff in charge of the entrance seems to think that Sam will just stand around all day without doing anything.
I myself am in a similar situation.
‘What a meaningless thing. Well, it’s easier than being bothered by strange customers. They said there would be a bonus pay today…’
Oliver wondered how he would survive such a boring day, but he pulled himself together.
‘No, you still have to be nervous. Because I still have rent and installments to pay. ‘Shouldn’t you make a VIP mistake and get fired?’
Ding – Ding –
A bell rang in the distance, announcing the opening of the store.
After this bell, which hangs on the spire of the amusement park’s tallest castle, rings twelve times, the theme song plays and the opening begins.
‘It’s so cute to see little children jumping around in anticipation while listening to that. It’s a shame today. Stand still and if you’re lucky, you’ll see VIP faces… Huh?’
A golden light suddenly flickered in front of the entrance where no one was present.
Soon the light began to form a clear shape in a circle.
‘What is that?’
If he had been a hunter, he would have immediately realized that it was some kind of gate, but Oliver, a civilian, had no opportunity to encounter something like this, so he was just surprised.
However, the hunters positioned everywhere were tense and staring at it.
Even the civilian employees seemed agitated.
Everyone was professional, so no one spoke out loud.
‘I heard there are a lot of hunters, so it looks like they are related to the dungeon. Who do you think it is? Now that I think about it, isn’t that Sonmoa Hunter who is making such a fuss about saving the Earth that he is coming?’
Oliver, who was convinced that it was a gate based on the hunters’ reactions, thought for a moment and then laughed to himself and shook his head.
‘Why would such a famous person come to a place like this? Even if he were to come, he would come quietly and have fun…’
The moment the huge shadow swaying at the gate completely appeared, Oliver was so shocked that he even stopped thinking about it.
It was a monster.
A quiet fear spread.
People just froze as the monster’s huge body appeared at the gate.
Only then did Oliver realize why the hunters were dressed up and placed throughout the amusement park.
A large bear about 4 meters tall walked out of the gate.
After that, four-legged animals such as deer, snakes, and wild boars appeared one after another.
The once quiet front gate quickly became filled with monsters.
There was a time recently when it was reported every day that monsters came out of dungeons and slaughtered people.
Oliver’s area was lucky to avoid the disaster, but the shocking images of the news video still left a lasting impression on everyone’s mind.
After the various monsters appeared and completely disappeared all the way to the gate, everyone in the room even forgot to breathe.
I felt like the terrible thing I saw in the video was going to happen to me at any moment.
‘Fucking hell!’
Oliver, whose mind was paralyzed with fear, muttered only fragmentary swear words endlessly.
The staff in charge of admission, who were closest to the monster, were trembling and staring at the floor.
He was shaking so much that even Oliver, who was standing far away, could see the trembling in his eyes.
A place where tension and fear reign.
An unexpected person appeared at the scene where a massacre seemed likely to unfold at any moment.
Humans appeared among the monsters.
It was my first time seeing him, but he smiled warmly and walked forward to introduce himself.
“My name is Elfanis. “I hope you have a good day today.”
Since this was officially known to be the intention of the U.S. President, Elfanis was chosen to represent it instead of Son Mo-ah.
Of course, Son Mo-ah and other characters were hidden by using invisibility and were staying in place to prepare for unexpected events.
“Ah, welcome to the world of dreams and hopes.”
Sam, who greeted Elfanis, stuttered his answer.
My mind was empty, and habitual words came out without me realizing it.
Oliver couldn’t help but be amazed as he watched the scene.
Sam you are amazing! This is a professional spirit that can serve as an example for all employees.
Anyway, as we exchanged our usual greetings in this unusual setting, the atmosphere calmed down a bit.
The employees were still shaking and the monsters looked threatening, but it was a great comfort to have a ‘human’ with whom they could communicate.
“then.”
Elfanis nodded slightly and glanced towards the back.
Then the bear, which was the first to appear through the gate, hesitantly walked out with both feet.
Bears usually walk on four legs, but this bear was naturally walking on two legs.
‘Am I going to die?’
Sam gave a certain message with amazing professional spirit, but when he got close to the monster, all he could think about was dying.
And that death was moving its gigantic soles, coming closer to me at every moment.
“here.”
The bear spoke.
Sam couldn’t believe what he heard, so he looked up at the bear blankly.
Perhaps due to his mood, the bear seemed a little nervous.
He was extending his arms forward and politely holding out something, but when he looked closely, he saw a white piece of paper sticking out between the soles of his huge feet.
It was so scary to touch the monster, but he couldn’t ignore it holding it tightly with both feet and holding it forward, so Sam carefully took the paper, feeling like he wanted to cry.
“One-day comprehensive free pass….”
This is a ticket I have seen tens of thousands of times while doing this job.
A pass that can be purchased online.
I fiddled with it so much that the entire paper was like cloth with all the wrinkles.
The visitor used this ticket . Sam’s job was to wrap a band around your wrist to process your admission, hand you the drink coupon that came with the ticket, and then give a brief instruction:
“I received your tea ticket.”
After giving the prepared statement, the bear naturally put out one of its front
paws. A belt needs to be wrapped around this wrist, but the problem is that the bear’s wrist is too thick to wrap the belt around.
Sam’s back was turned as he looked at the belt he was holding and the bear’s wrist. I was starting to get wet.
Just by looking at the wrinkled ticket, I could tell that I had come here with great expectations.
If I didn’t process my entrance properly, I might have my head burst like a balloon with those huge front paws. I was
shaking. The bear, who was quietly looking down at the cold sweating employee, wriggled, folded his front paws, and held out a finger.
“Just wrap it around your finger.”
“Ah, yes. Excuse me. Then, I will wrap it around several times so it doesn’t fall off.”
“Good.”
The bear’s sparkling gaze fell on the back of the employee’s head as he wrapped a paper band around his finger with a quick movement. It was
originally meant to be used as a bracelet, but when wrapped around the finger, it became a ring.
Thinking that this wasn’t that bad, the bear wrapped the paper band around the employee’s finger. I looked at the Jun zodiac sign quietly.
In fact, I could have opened the gate and visited the amusement park right away without these entrance procedures, but I deliberately went through this procedure because I wanted it to be ‘just like what I saw in a real drama.’ And I also had to follow the rules of this world
. There was also a reason for practicing.
“Here is a drink coupon. You can use it inside after entering. There is an information booklet on the right after entering, so please take it with you if you need it. In case of an emergency, please tell the staff nearby at any time. .”
Sam spoke inertically and quickly let the bear inside.
I wanted it to disappear as quickly as possible, but the bear stood still and looked in one direction.
‘Why isn’t it going? What are you looking at… ah.’
This amusement park had one tradition.
Every day, the first visitor would be given a hug by the amusement park’s mascot before entering and recite a ‘magic spell’.
In fact, it was not a special event, but the children loved it very much.
‘No way… ..’
Sam wanted to deny it, but the bear’s gaze was fixed on the mascot.
Thinking about how much his colleague dressed as a doll was shaking, Sam’s sympathy surged.
But the most pitiful thing right now was the position of the remaining 50 monsters. He must be the one who has to proceed.
“Ah, the most diligent child, please come here.”
The mascot awkwardly spread his arms, stuttering pitifully.
Then the bear approached and hugged the mascot as if he had been waiting.
It was the right to first place, won after a fierce lottery. There was
no way he could turn it down.
Originally, it was on the customer’s side . It was supposed to be held in the arms of this mascot, but the height difference was so great that it ended up being the mascot being held by the customer. The
small mascot below the bear’s chest is a bear character, so it looked like a bear cub being held by its mother bear. ‘It’s fluffy…’
The mascot decided not to think too deeply, but that was the only sentiment that came to mind. Perhaps
due
to his mood, a strangely fragrant smell was also present.
Ginda, the bear monster who had been anxiously waiting for this day, was shaking his entire body since dawn. That’s because he washed it with shampoo and conditioner several times.
Click.
Sam was startled by the sudden sound and turned to the side.
A colleague who was in charge of entering the room with him took a picture of the two with his cell phone.
His mind was usually empty. He was someone who doubted that he had taken drugs, but he was so reckless that he thought he might have
taken drugs. ‘But honestly, I want to film it too. Where can I go to see scenes like this?’
